KINGS MOUNTAIN — Police are looking for two men they say robbed an employee of a local restaurant this weekend.

After the Kentucky Fried Chicken on East King Street closed Saturday, an employee was getting into her vehicle when she was approached by two black men, according to a news release from the Kings Mountain Police Department.

One of the men broke out the window of the vehicle and demanded the woman’s money, according to the release. The employee gave the men money and the suspects ran north behind the restaurant. The employee was not injured, according to the release.

Kings Mountain police responded at 10:30 p.m. and searched the area but did not find the men.

One suspect was a slender, light-skinned black man, about 5 feet 10 inches to 6 feet tall. He was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, black hat and a black face mask. The second suspect was a black male about the same height and was wearing a red hoodie and a red bandana.
